Flip and turn it orange and the logo changes completely.

Donald Trump's official campaign logo—a banner reading "Make America Great Again!"—isn't as typographically offensive as, say, Jeb's logo. But it is pretty generic and, as far as logomarks go, not that adaptable. How on Earth will he ever get that banner on an app button for mobile?

Here's an idea, from astute design observer Matthew Gordon in Boulder, Colo.: why not just co-opt Obama's campaign logo and make it his own? The Obama logo, designed before the 2008 campaign by Sol Sender, depicts a new sun rising over rolling hills—a symbol of new beginnings and American optimism. If you just flip it upside down and paint it orange, though, you have a symbol of Trump himself—wispy golden mane and all. Sure, it's a narcissistic logo for a presidential campaign. And yes, the idea is rife with copyright protection issues. But unconventional antics haven't bothered Trump before.
